Trump is but a deranged loose cannon, a demagogue. I'm hoping for the best, but it's not looking good.
I do not agree.

O'Reily is talking out his a** with this: [Bill O’Reilly said legalized marijuana is a $1 billion industry in Colorado and claimed all the “dealers” and “pushers” are going there to “load up on it” and then “zoom around the country selling it.” He then asked Trump if it concerns him, to which Trump responded: “That’s a real problem.”]
I don't doubt Trump/Sessions will double down on the massive failure of prohibition. It will continue to fail and cost us all.
The punishment would be simple. Since the taxes earned from the sale of pot was illegally obtained they will be required to give up the same amount to the federal government.
Well that should be part of the regulations. It isn't like we don't have regulations for other crops in America. How or why would it be different for Pot?

I'm really surprised Trump is looking to crack down on recreational marijuana use. That's disappointing. I don't use it myself, but I think YOU should be able to. Illinois just legalized medical MJ. The form you sign when you enter the always-locked dispensary and purchase it reminds you that you are breaking Federal law.
If it were a perfect world and I were in charge, Congress itself would act and decriminalize it. There are SO much bigger fish to fry.
We're just not used to politicians moving so quickly on their agenda. I wish there was a website that listed his campaign promises because it's pretty obvious to me he's working down a list and plans to move on all of it.
I do not agree.
Well, don't feel alone. At the time of this posting, almost 24% of the people here agree with you. But, then again, 76% do not.

Not bad for only one month on the job, clearly he is making an impact.
However, as I have stated many times any fair person would wait at least 100 days before trying to evaluate, so this poll is meaningless, it is more a representation of bias.
There is truth in that. Myself, I am still hoping for the best and praying for a miracle. Nothing would give more pleasure that to tell you that you were right along. But, so far.......... not looking too good.
I think it's 50/50. 50% bias and 50% observation.
I will give your post a like because it is a distinct possibility and because you are a good dude.
Now see that's what I like about you, this basic decency and fairness that you insist upon practicing.

I really hope they fix the federal law and allow these states and people to govern themselves.
Regulations is one thing. Sending in goons from the feds to arrest anyone and seize their assets even under suspicion is another
The drug war has never been anything but a gestapo state. Very rarely do they bust kingpins and gangsters
Wait, " dealers and pushers" are traveling all the way to Colorado, to pay full retail price for marijuana, and then " zooming around the country" to sell it. Yeah, that's believable.
Not at all what I was referring to.They do, indeed. But not across the country...just the next state. Lots of people from Utah drive to Wyoming just to buy beer that isn't 3% to bring back...and the cops watch and wait for them at the border. So if people will do that for beer it seems only logical they would do it for pot, too.
I don't know if it's true but I've heard that the Feds can't bust someone for pot unless they're on federal land..or smoking in public. So tourists and campers on BLM land, beware.
